Roman Juarez scored two goals and assisted Tom Drescher on one of his two goals to propel the Scorpions (20-1-1) into Friday's Section 2 match against Region 4 winner Gulf in front of an estimated crowd of 150 fans at Municipal Stadium.

''We weren't controlling the midfield, and if you don't control the middle of the field, you don't win,'' said Seabreeze Coach Ken McMurray, who saw his run of three consecutive regional championships end. ''We outshot them 23-18, but we never got anything in.''

Seabreeze did manage a pair of goals, both by Mike Sanders, but both came after Satellite had established control, thanks mostly to Juarez. His 35-yard shot whizzed past Seabreeze goalkeeper Mike Minetti 6 minutes into the game for a 1-0 Satellite lead.

Seabreeze lost a pair of chances to tie it early in the second half, Sanders missing from in front and Artie Cavanaugh missing a header a few minutes later.

Juarez turned those misses to the Scorpions' advantage, weaving past three Seabreeze defenders and scoring from 25 yards out for a 2-0 Satellite lead with 30:28 to play.

Four minutes later, Drescher headed in a long pass from Juarez on the left wing for a 3-0 Satellite margin.

''We thought the pressure would be the key,'' Satellite Coach Dennis Sommers said. ''We wanted to keep the pressure on.''

Seabreeze (10-8-5) cut the lead to 3-1 on Sanders' first goal, but Drescher made it 4-1 with his second goal, another header, with 17:18 left. Sanders' final goal was on a Sanders penalty kick with 11:39 to play.

The Sandcrabs were forced to play catch-up in the final 6 minutes with one man short after Todd Becker was given a red card.
